The Smashing Pumpkins have been busy making the rounds in the satellite radio circles. Not only did they take over Sirius' Alt Nation, but yesterday they played for a live audience at XM’s D.C. studios.
Yesterday (7/10) was also the same day that the band’s new album "Zeitgeist" hit the shelves.
Smashing Pumpkins taped an episode of the XM show "Artist Confidential" at the XM Performance Theater. Billy Corgan and company played XM in advance of their sold-out show at the 9:30 Club, the renowned rock venue which located is about a mile north of the Eck.
The "Artist Confidential" featuring the Smashing Pumpkins will air, uhm, sometime in the future. (I don't have broadcast times yet.)
But I do have photos from the band's performance at XM. Check 'em out after the jump...
It's great to see them somewhat come back together. Too bad it isn't all the originals. At least it's a start. They were ahead of their time in the 90's.
Saw them in DC at the 9:30 club last night. Amazing show.
I was lucky enough to be in the second row for the XM performance...to say it was awesome is an understatement!
